A set of four beautifully accurate Gyokucho Japanese saws which includes a Kataba, Ryoba, Dozuki and double flush cutting saw. This set will cover crosscutting and sheet materials, ripping and resawing, dovetailing, tenons, fine joinery and flush cutting.
Gyokucho 400 Proton Power Saw Ibarame Kataba 240mmThe Gyokucho 400 Ibarame Kataba has quite a stiff blade and 13 crosscut teeth per inch. This reasonably aggressive saw is excellent for crosscutting timber to length, making square or angled cuts for larger scale joinery and is also a great choice for zipping through panels in solid timber, sheet goods, veneered ply and composites.
It leaves a smooth surface and almost no breakout on the exit side. The stubby spine provides a little extra support for the blade whilst still allowing deep cuts to be made.
